Conclusions
Short Abstract
Considering the compelling need for personalized and targeted therapy in cancer, the main objective is to design, produce and characterize new theranostic agents (polymer-coated nanoparticles with porphyrins) for photodynamic therapy. Pharmacological modulation of the endogenous antioxidant system will be used as co-therapy. Applied research for product development in preclinical setting will be complemented by advanced mechanistic studies. The project meets the M-ERA.NET topic “Tailoring of bioactive material surfaces for health applications”.
